Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
Why does electromagnetic radiation have the lowest energy?
Electromagnetic radiation has a wide range of energies. On the low end, there is ELF, and on the high end there is gamma radiation. It all depends on frequency.
Do ultraviolet waves have a high or low frequency?
That depends what you call "high" or "low". The frequency of ultraviolet waves is higher than that of visible light; lower than that of x-rays.
What carries more energy ultraviolet or microwaves?
more energy, yes. If that is what you mean as power and energy are different units.
How does glass affect radiation?
glass like most solids will stop radiation with low energy like alpha and i think beta aswell but nothing like gamma which has very high energy will be completely stopped radiation is affected because it is diverted in a different direction by diffaction or reflection
What is the fate of the energy in the ultraviolet light incident on glass?
Ultraviolet is too high frequency to enter glass and infrared is too low.
What is a low-LET radiation?
high-linear energy transfer
What are two forms of radiation that are reduced by the atmosphere?
Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by ozone in the ozone layer. Low-energy (long wavelength) radiation, including infrared, microwave, and radio waves, is typically deflected by atmospheric particles.
How is EM radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?
EM radiation is essentially high energy light, with wavelengths ranging from 10 nanometers low energy x rays to 10 picometers high energy gamma rays. Beta radiation refers to high speed electrons while an alpha ray is a high speed proton.

What type of radiation from the Sun reaches the Earth?
The radiation emitted by the Sun, is a mixture of electromagnetic waves ranging from infrared (IR) to ultraviolet rays (UV). It of course includes visible light, which is in between IR and UV in the electromagnetic spectrum. The solar wind can also be considered to be radiation from the sun as it is mostly high velocity free protons and electrons. The sun also emits neutrino radiation, but this barely interacts with matter and is hard to detect.
Do ultraviolet waves have a high or low frequency?
That depends what you call "high" or "low". The frequency of ultraviolet waves is higher than that of visible light; lower than that of x-rays.
Is the frenquency of the ultraviolet high or low?
it is the lowest frequency possible.
What carries more energy ultraviolet or microwaves?
more energy, yes. If that is what you mean as power and energy are different units.
Does nuclear energy cause cancer?
No. The types of radiation that cause cancer are ionizing radiation (alpha and beta radiation) and high-energy electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays). Even then, very low doses of these forms of radiation usually aren't carcinogenic.
